First, international orders from now on will pay no extra shipping when compared to US buyers. Rates are $5 for orders $49 and under and free for all orders $50+.

Second, recently added to the audio cables is the option for OCC copper and silver-plated copper. Soon, litz coated wire will be an option as well. Here's why OCC is a big deal for personal audio like headphones and amp/dac interconnects. The process with which UP OCC is made starts with a pure metal (copper or silver, which I don't offer because costs are so insane for silver right now) and is then cast in such a way where the resulting wire is 1 crystal. This ensures the best conductivity and consistency in the wire which is never a bad thing.

For those interested, a white paper detailing technical specs and conclusions in regards to performance of OCC wire is linked here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0213/4262/files/occ.pdf?1508513069569546028

Bad news for those of you not in the US looking to get some great cables starting Jan 18. USPS has doubled the rate for international shipping, which means I've got to increase the prices as well.

International pricing for orders under $100 is now $18.

Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.
